Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 576
Li Weisi's extraordinary action is extremely amazing, it can be called a stroke of genius, completely leaving Jordan behind, not only that, but immediately facing Cartwright who is helping to defend, Li Weisi chose to pull the bar for a layup, avoiding Cartwright's shot in the air Cover and finish.

The whole process is smooth and flowing, agile and elegant, creating another kind of beauty, which is amazing.

"What's this move called?" Jordan asked suddenly, looking at Li Weisi who was about to return to defense.

"This? Frank named him Butterfly Walk."

"Poor name!"

"Yes, I think so too!" Li Weisi smiled at Jordan and left quickly.

"However, the effect of this trick is really good! I passed the fuck!" Looking at Li Weisi's back, Jordan sighed softly, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Since Price came to the team, Jordan has no need to dribble across the half court at all. After all, in terms of dribbling alone, even he doesn't think he can do better than Price.

Li Weisi's single shot against Jordan was just a counterattack against Jordan, although the Warriors finally scored again after more than two minutes.

But this does not change the current situation on the court. As for consuming Jordan on the defensive end, it cannot be done in one round.

And Jordan is obviously still physically strong at this time. In the subsequent games, his state will not decrease, and he will play without hesitating physical strength.

Therefore, when the first quarter ended, the Bulls led the Warriors at 30:15 by as many as 15 points.

Jordan scored 16 points in the first quarter, higher than the entire Warriors team. Although Li Weisi scored a few more goals later, after entering the bench stage, the Warriors scored 2 points, further widening the point difference.

In this regard, Nelson did not mean to replace Li Weisi in a hurry. After all, it is a tradition for the Warriors to fall behind in the start of this season. In the last game, they were leading by more than ten points at most, and finally reversed.

Compared with head-to-head encounters in the early stage, it is clear that when the Warriors face the Bulls, they are better at taking advantage of the large number of players and exerting strength in the later stages.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Warriors really started to exert their strength.

The Warriors' substitutes, who originally scored only 2 points in the first quarter, suddenly turned into Gundams in the second quarter. Taking advantage of Jordan's absence, they immediately launched a counterattack, chasing the point difference to only 6 points.

In the end, after Price and Pippen hit a goal each, the point difference returned to 10 points, but this also scared the Bulls enough.

However, when Li Weisi and the Warriors came back from the bench, the point difference began to narrow again, and the momentum of chasing points was extremely fast.

Not long after the Warriors' starter returned, Jackson had Jordan ready to play, planning to return to the court at the next dead ball.

But in such a short time, the Warriors played an extremely beautiful offense.

First, Mullin, facing Pippen's defense, used his off-ball movement to successfully run out of space.

Seeing this, Li Weisi immediately gave the ball to Mullin. After receiving the ball, Mullin first feinted and tricked Pippen who was coming, then dribbled a step away from Pippen while adjusting the rhythm, and then shot and made a mid-range hit .

Mullin's goal seems unremarkable, but it is equivalent to sounding the clarion call for the Warriors to chase points.

Later, on the defensive end, Rodman had quick eyes and quick hands, double-teamed Pippen at a critical moment, and cut the ball away from his hands.

Immediately afterwards, after controlling the ball, Li Weisi was found immediately.

In this regard, Li Weisi naturally would not disappoint Rodman's high expectations. He quickly broke through to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Hodges' defense, Li Weisi directly chose a three-pointer.

Li Weisi's chasing three-pointer was extremely fast and sudden, completely beyond Hodges' expectations. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the basketball went into the basket.

In this way, the point difference was further narrowed to only 5 points!
Seeing that the point difference was approaching step by step, Jordan on the sidelines was very anxious, wishing to get on the court immediately, but unfortunately there was no dead ball, and he was reluctant to call a timeout, so he could only stand on the sidelines and watch the team being chased for points.

Fortunately, the Bulls are not without people. At this critical juncture, Price passed the pick-and-roll and distributed the ball to Pippen who was running down.

After Pippen got the ball, he took off on the spot, completely ignored Mullin's defense, and dunked the ball into the basket.

With the dunk, the Bulls finally stabilized the situation. Of course, this is what they thought!

Looking back, Li Weisi immediately counterattacked, although due to the speed of the Bulls' return to defense, they failed to fight.

But Li Weisi still used his elusive running position, squeezed out of the crowd, and received a pass from Mullin at the top of the arc.

Li Weisi, who got the ball, naturally didn't talk nonsense, turned around immediately, without making any adjustments, just pulled it up and shot.

Hodges, who followed closely behind, finally caught up this time and did not let Li Weisi leave him behind, but after jumping up, he still failed to cover Li Weisi, and instead hit Li Weisi's elbow.

Since this scene happened right in front of the referee, the referee naturally blew the whistle without saying a word.

Fortunately, because Li Weisi was hit on the elbow, the basketball bounced off the basket, which did not allow Li Weisi to score 3+1.

However, it is not good news for Li Weisi to get three free throws.

Of course, this time Jordan can finally return to the court, but seeing Li Weisi hit three free throws, the point difference is only 4 points.

With a 15-point difference, only 4 points were left in an instant. The strength of his teammates was beyond Jordan's imagination. Of course, Jordan also knew that it wasn't that his teammates didn't work hard, but that the Warriors' offensive firepower was too fierce.

Fortunately, with Jordan's return, the Bulls finally had a backbone, and this embarrassing situation of being chased for points finally came to an end.

Sure enough, in the next round after Jordan came on the court, he used a breakthrough to cause a foul by Rodman. He made two free throws and stabilized the morale of the army.

The Warriors' point-chasing journey came to an abrupt end, and then the two teams fell into a tussle again, and the point difference did not change drastically.

At the last moment, Li Weisi hit a throw, leaving the Bulls with the last 4.3 seconds.

And this time, after Jordan received Cartwright's serve, it only took 3 seconds to pass the halftime. Seeing that there was not enough time, he faced Richmond's defense and threw this buzzer three points.

This three-pointer, which was close to the midfield, flew in the air for a long time, until the light was on for a long time, it hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Faced with Jordan's unreasonable three-pointer in midfield, all the Warriors wanted to cry without tears. Compared with 8 points, the perception is still a lot worse.

In this way, relying on Jordan's lucky three-pointer, the Bulls led the Warriors 53:45 and ended the first half.
